Prenols, a class of lipids formed by the condensation of five carbon isoprenoids, have
important roles in numerous metabolic pathways of the eukaryotic cell. Prenols are found in
the cell as free alcohols, such as dolichol, or can be attached to vitamins, as with the fat
soluble vitamins. In addition, prenols such as farnesyl‐and geranylgeranyl‐diphosphate are
substrates for the transfer of farnesyl and geranylgeranyl units to proteins with important
implications for signal transduction within the cell. Dolichol phosphate‐and dolichol …
